1056 David Milinkovic

Biography

Powerful and pacy Serbian wideman Milinkovic joined City from Italian side Genoa, although his reputation was forged during a season long loan at Heart of Midlothian during 2017/18. He started 2018/19 on the City bench and struggled to find a place in the first XI, a situation worsened by indiscipline while playing for the reserves. He returned to the first team squad in January 2019 looking more dangerous and willing than before, but he ended his first season again out of Nigel Adkins’ plans. Ignored by new manager Grant McCann, Milinkovic joined MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2020 on a one year loan.

Born and raised in the south of France by parents that hailed from Serbia, Milinkovic’s youth career was split between AS Cannes and Red Star Belgrade. He broke into the first team at the age of 21 while playing in the Italian lower leagues, by 2016 Genoa had signed him up. Genoa duly loaned him out to other Italian sides and then, importantly, to Hearts where he played most games in his single season and netted six league goals.
